Puddle Cake

I made a delicious chocolate-chip bundt cake topped with chocolate ganache.

kikkomanusa.com

Unfortunately, it did not resemble the lovely picture on the ganache recipe.

(I know. A real shocker, right?)

Still, it tasted GREAT and had a surprise ingredient!

Wait until you see what that was!

(Hint: the recipe for the sauce came from Kikkoman…)

I started with my mom’s recipe for chocolate-chip bundt cake:

1 pkg yellow cake mix

1 pkg vanilla pudding mix

4 eggs

1 cup water

1/3 cup oil

1 pkg mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 and grease and flour a 10″ bundt pan. Combine the first five ingredients and beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Stir in the chocolate chips until just mixed in. Pour it into the pan. Bake 50-60 minutes.

After the cake is done you can make the ganache:

12 oz Heavy Cream

6 oz Bittersweet Chocolates

2 Tbsp Kikkoman Soy Sauce (SURPRISE!!)

Chop up chocolate. Heat heavy cream. Pour heated heavy cream over chocolate and let sit for a minute. Whisk until smooth. After the ganache is completely melted remove from the heat and whisk in Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Pour Sauce over Cake.

Okay, here’s where I recommend: Make sure your cake is on a plate with a good-sized rim all around.

Otherwise, you get this…PUDDLE CAKE!!!

I tried to transfer the spilled chocolate sauce from the waxed paper back onto the cake but it was super-messy.
